Tonart: D major•
Verse 1
D
G
D
A
D
And now, my friends,
you ask me
G
D
what makes me sad and still
G
D
And why my brow is darkened
E
like clouds upon the hill
A
D
Run in your pony closer
G
and I'll tell you all the tale
D
G
D
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
A
D
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
D
G
D
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
E
many a herd and many a brand
A
D
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
G
D
neither date nor name
G
D
There lies my partner sleeping in
A
D
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
G
D
and rode it side by side
G
D
I loved him as a brother,
A
D
We were rounding up one morning,
G
D
our work was almost done.
A
D
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
G
D
was holding on that side.
G
D
She started in to turn them,
E
A
that's where my partner died.
D
She used a saddle blanket
G
D
given her by a friend.
G
D
It was this bright red blanket
A
D
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
G
D
at the cattle on the right
G
D
The blanket slipped beneath her
E
and cut the stirrup tight
A
D
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
G
they all held their breath
D
G
D
If now should the pony fail her,
A
D
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
G
D
she turned her pony's face
G
D
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
E
the blanket in its place
A
D
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
G
fell in front of that wild tide
D
G
D
Lie still, Barrow, I'm coming,
A
D
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
G
D
Utah come ridin' fast
G
D
Though he never saw that mo ment,
E
A
the ride would be his last
D
His pony reached Farrell
G
with firm and steady bound
D
G
D
He swung from out the saddle
A
D
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
G
had not been felt before
D
G
D
and his backstitch snapped asunder
E
and he fell beside Barrow.
A
D
He now picked up the blanket
G
D
and swung it over his head
G
D
and started across the prairie
A
D
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
G
the report rang loud and clear
D
G
as the cattle rushed to kill him
D
E
A
he dropped the leading steer
D
and when we broke the circle
D
G
D
with many a wound and bruise,
A
D
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
G
I heard the preacher say
D
G
D
I hope we'll all meet Utah
A
E
at the roundup far away
A
D
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
G
set him by his little friend
D
G
And was that very blanket
D
A
D
G
D
A
D
that brought Utah to his end
